As dog lovers, we aren’t swayed by a dog hair in our food– we consider it an extra nutrient! But, what sets the Golden Lover apart? Here are some suggestions sent in by SGRR Members and Supporters.

…your share of the king size bed has shrunk to nothing.

Left: Bailey & Annie McClintock with Dad.

• your furniture is conspicuously tan colored and you can rarely notice the fur on it.
• you have to remove about fifty tennis balls from your backyard before you can scoop poop.
• you have at least one crate in your vehicle
• your grooming tool collection includes at least five different variations of brush/comb.
• the household water dish occasionally has a tennis ball in it.
• you step on a Nylabone barefooted.
• you have a Kong go through a window
• you have the sweeper repair dude in speed dial
• you’re running a bath and and you need to grab something from the other room, and there’s someone else in your bath water when you return.
• you keep your trash bin on top of the dryer
• you discover your missing butter dish (cake pan, fill in anything here) in the bedroom
• you have to remove the knobs from your stove because counter surfing turns on the burners
• your house isn’t carpeted–the furry blonde fuzzballs under your feet are soft enough.
• you show up at the car dealers with a ruler, to measure and see if your big dog crate will fit.
• you have dog hair stuck on tape on wrapped gifts. (happens to me all the time)
• people at work have stopped offering you their lint brushes; they realize it is a hopeless case.
• you get your latest roll of film developed and there isn’t a single picture of a two legged person in the bunch.
